Upgrade (v2.2->v6) advice request
I am a relative newbie at this and took the plunge constructing a TV box.
I have a SageTv Box That has been running for some time. This computer is dedicated to the TV only. The particulars: Celeron 2.0GHz w/ 512M RAM 2 - 250G HDs (mostly full) Hauppauge PVR-500 card (dual tuners) GeForce FX 5200 (for TV-Out) USB-UIRT infared receiver Kameleon 8 URC-9960 Remote Control [no DVD burner as yet, I move files to my regular machine and burn] The recent email from SageTV really got me thinking. They are offering a $30 upgrade from v2.2 to v6 until Jan. 15, 2007. After that, I suppose the $80 price takes over. Should I go this route? Is the upgrade mostly painless? (I have side-stepped the upgrades so far because I don't want to chance messing up and missing an episode of <whatever>.) Should I forget that and cough up the $80 and go with the Linux based system?? Is there a way to preserve the "watched program" database, favorites, etc. for the Linux upgrade path? Should I hang a DVD drive on the box before upgrading? |

Thanks for the clarification, dblaine2.
Thanks for the feedback Walter, I am considering that the same will be true of v6. |
